The Caterpillar 982 is a large wheel loader with an operating weight of 35,567 kg and an engine output of 398 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 6 m3, positioning it firmly in the heavy-duty wheel loader segment. The machine is designed for high-volume material handling in demanding operational environments.
Large wheel loaders of this class are commonly deployed in quarrying, mining support, port operations, and large-scale earthmoving projects. They are well suited to loading articulated haulers and rigid dump trucks, as well as stockpile management and aggregate handling. Their bucket capacity and power output make them productive in applications where cycle efficiency and payload per pass are priorities.
Buyers should prioritize a full inspection of the powertrain, hydraulic system, and axles, as these are the highest-wear components on machines of this class and weight. Tire condition and remaining tread depth represent a significant cost factor and should be assessed carefully before purchase. A documented service history and access to dealer-supported diagnostics for Cat electronic systems add measurable value. Third-party mechanical inspection by a qualified technician familiar with large wheel loaders is advisable before committing to any unit.
In the European market, the Caterpillar 982 carries an average asking price of EUR 172,167, with a typical price range spanning EUR 124,100 to EUR 227,600. This spread reflects variation in machine age, configuration, and condition across available inventory. The 982 competes directly with models such as the Komatsu WA500 and the Volvo L220, both of which occupy the same heavy wheel loader segment and are relevant alternatives when evaluating total cost of ownership and parts support.
